Two Air Canada employees seen in a video posted online showing passengers' baggage being dropped from the top of a staircase to a bin below have been suspended.

And the two unnamed employees could be fired.

"The employees involved have been advised that their employment will be terminated pending the outcome of our investigation," Air Canada spokesman Angela Mah said. "We take matters involving the protection of our customers' personal possessions very seriously.

"The actions of these individuals are not representative of the vast majority of our employees who work hard every day to take care of our customers."

Global News reported Dwayne Stewart of Abbotsford, B.C., shot the video in a plane on the tarmac at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

Stewart said passengers on the Vancouver-bound flight were asked to check their carry-on luggage because there wasn't enough room in overhead compartments.

Stewart started filming as a handler dropped several bags what he figures was about 20 feet.
